    279: Homeward (Earth)Bound

    I owe my love of Earthbound to Ness' cameo in Smash Bros. He was the only character I didn't recognise, and as I loved him so much I sought out the game. Earthbound is one of the few JRPGs I've ever completed and loved. The ending was especially moving. The power of praying and faith winning...

    Recommend me a vampire novel!

    It's also in English, and I recommend it too. If it's anything like the stunningly brilliant film it will be great. Find the book, and the film before Hollywood pisses all over it and remakes it.

    257: The Worst (and Best) Videogame Cartoons

    Sonic SatAM was superb, and really surprising that they could get that dark with Sonic. It's still good now. Earthworm Jim however is the best. It also has the greatest, most catchy theme tune of any cartoon ever. Yes, even beats Duck Tales.

    Assassin's Creed II Leaps to PC March 16

    So... we're being forced to buy a Special Edition? Including DLC that literally should've been in the game in the first place? Gee, thanks.

    Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000 Now on Steam

    Do you like the Aliens films, particularly the first two? Have you played AVP2? Are you looking forward to the new AVP game out next month? If the answer to any of these questions was 'yes' you should already be considering buying this. Not enough? Well, despite AVP2 being the superior game...

    Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000 Now on Steam

    I think "updated for current systems" means that it runs on current versions of Windows and modern graphics cards Escapist, so stop the snarky comments about the system specs. The older games get, the less likely they are to work on modern systems - so having a computer with 4Gb RAM, RanD00M, is...

    236: The Stories We Tell Ourselves

    I almost agreed, especially as I empathised with the writer's parents denying him a console - happened to me too, although that instead led me to a life loving computer games instead, from the Amiga to the PC. And besides, all my friends had them, so I still played a hell of a lot of console...

    Unskippable: Lost Odyssey

    Please do The Last Remnant at some point. That was even worse than this.

    Happy that Tomb Raider sold really poorly and most of Crystal Dynamics have been fired Yahtzee? It's all your fault!

    Zero Punctuation - Song Suggestion Thread!

    Hooray, we have life again! I still think 'Rainbow In The Dark' by Dio is perfect for Alone In The Dark, whoever suggested that. I'll check out your ones guys. Although are you just typing 'Dead' into a search engine? :P Sonic Unleashed Opening: 'I Will Survive' by Gloria Gaynor or...

    Zero Punctuation - Song Suggestion Thread!

    Left 4 Dead Opening: 'The Gonk' from Dawn of the Dead OR 'Zombies' by Space Closing: 'Have A Little Help From My Friends' by The Beatles OR (rather more amusingly) 'I'll Be There For You' by The Rembrandts (yes, the Friends theme tune)
